"Einzatsgruppen" were specialized SS troops used to massacre civilians during WW2. They followed regular Wehrmacht troops during their advance into Russia and executed civilians en masse (starting with Polish/ Ukrainian/Russian Jews) mostly by shooting. Many of them transferred to death camp units after the Wannsee Final Solution Conference. After the July 1944 attempt to kill Hitler, they were also used to execute German soldiers who refused to follow stupid orders or deserted. The Russians had similar NKVD troops behind their own regulars in order to keep army units in the frontline or to separate them during in-fighting over booty, alcohol left behind by Germans, etc. The "expert" author is confusing these SS troops with Waffen SS who were made up of Germans and other nationalities. "Skandeberg" Waffen SS WAS 100-percent made up of Moslem Albanians and was used in the Balkans. Another Waffen SS was Prinz Eugen Division made up mainly of Deutschevolk from Eastern Europe. Saw a lot of action in Hungary, Yugoslavia, etc. Let's keep information accurate and not pull a "clinton" on the thread participants.
